Bem vindo!

That's a good start you have with that equipment. I would suggest getting copies of the following books to give you an idea of what you can do with what you have as well what direction you may want to take:

Les Paras Françcais en Indochine 1945-1954 by Éric Adam and Patrice Pavetta, 2011
The French Foreign Legion in Indochina 1946-1956 by Raymond Guyader, 2011

Their respective companion pieces concerning the Algerian War are likewise excellent.

And, of course, there are some knowledgeable and helpful folks here who check in regularly.

Boa sorte, amigo!
